On June 25,2009 these events or stories played out over the news. Two stories hit the news and entertainment cycle concerning the death of two prominent celebs of world wide fame. As the reports came in there was an air of unbelief concerning the timing of the deaths. I believe that God knows how to get our attention regarding the essence of our souls. The way I perceived these events led me to a couple pieces of scripture. These two scriptures can help all of us that are still here preparing for whats to come. Hebrews 9: 27 gives us this piece. It says; “And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:”No matter where you are and who you are or what you are doing this appointment has already been made. It is written in the book of life concerning every one who is born. The key here is are we ready for the appointment? The only one who is privileged to know the time is God. Lets not get it twisted the hour is arriving. Jesus also refers to our appointment in Luke 12: 20. He blurts out this piece “You fool! This very night they [the messengers of God] will demand your soul of you; and all the things that you have prepared, whose will they be?” There is a tremdous amout of value in this statement. We do not know when that time will come. Are we prepared?This evening I could not help but be overwhelmed by the two incredible talents that moved into eternity today. Most importantly were they ready for there eternal appointment? As we are bearing witness the appointment is not contingent upon how much money you have , who you know, or how iconic you are it is at the mercy and through the grace of a loving God , whose intentions are not for us to perish. The step into eternity is forever. There is no turning back. I pray that all who come to meet this appointment find the peace of God that passes all of our understanding. He will not put more on us than we can bear. It is up to us to make the choice so that he can bear it for us. As I close I pray that Godl will comfort the families of Michael and Farah and that His mercy and grace find them at this difficult time. To all of us still here I pray that we find our purpose and begin the preparation for the transition into God’s eternal kingdomIn Jesus NameAmen

Bio

Born August 3, 1960 in Newark, New Jersey to Hezekiah and Miriam Crudup the 5th oldest of 10. As a child there was a great love to copy art from comic books and other materials. Over the years this developed a creative . that led Anthony to pursue drawing with great love and affection. After graduating from West Side High School in Newark, New Jersey he attended the University of Minnesota with a major in Journalism and Communications a minor in Fine Arts.. It was during this time he developed a great affection towards the creative and its effects on the soul.. during the late 8o's and early 90's he began to wane and his interest for art took a back seat to financial dysfunction and social and spiritual unrest. during this period Anthony surrendered to his Lord and King Jesus Christ and began the process of healing that allowed and presented him with the freedom to become more expressive,hence developing a style quite unique to him. Currently He is beginning to form into one of the most expressive and prolific artist of his time. It is with the assurance and the Love of Jesus that complels him to look forward to a future of creative and spiritual excellence that will become a blessing to his brothers and sisters in Christ and to the world.

Outside of my love for Jesus Christ my greatest inspiration is my son Emmanuel James Crudup.His passion for life inspires me to strive for greatness. Amen

Artist Statement

Heart of the Fathers is a blog created by the Artist Anthony Crudup of Mirhez Images to encourage the hearts of Fathers into the lives of their children.(Malachi 4:6) As a father the relationship I had with the mother of my son discouraged me from encouraging the life of my son. It hindered me from receiving the power of God in my life. It robbed me from living responsibly concerning the life of my son. Today I'm encourage not by the relationship with his mother but by my relationship with God the Father through the Lord Jesus the Christ. It is in that relationship and authority that I choose to live in order for my seed to live and prosper.(Deuteronomy 30:19) Amen.
Daily we will entertain renderings of art created by the artist Anthony Crudup from Mirhez Images to encourage and present the positive and wonderful glory of being a father in the sight and glory of God. All of the images will be available for purchase through our ArtByUs portfolio.http://www.artbyus.com/auctions.php?a=6&b=7890
